Re: Setup a Mobile Broadband connection in BT4

I edited wvdial.conf as you directed except my APN or others that is different for my network connection. But i got the following error "error in opening ttyusb0". I searched it in the given directory, but there is no file like "ttyusb0".
previously I install usb_modeswitch, also try sakis3g. bt not working.

Re: Setup a Mobile Broadband connection in BT4

I personally had success with sakis3g.. but my 5800 dint work..tried it out with various huawei modems though..(E1570 & E220). I recommend you try that out. Or if you want it using the cellphone have a look at joikuspot. Its a mobile app that turns your WLAN enabled phone into an AP.

When I try and it can be connected to the Internet. But after walking a few minutes, suddenly could not move the mouse and the computer hang. I can not do anything more than pressing the power button to turn off the system. So what's wrong? I expect the help to solve it?

Re: Setup a Mobile Broadband connection in BT4

How do I edit wvdial.conf
i tried gedit cat/etc/wvdial.conf
but i'm getting the message that gedit has not been installed and i have to install it.
But i don't have internet connection to do so.
So for 4 days i'm searching for this information to connect my nokia 5800 which has 3g.
Please help me solve it. I'm a beginner and i'm not so familiar with many codes.
thank you.

First of all gedit is not included in Backtrack and second that is a basic linux issue.
